SYNOPSIS:
The Lamb’s Snow is a story about eight lost souls and how their
paths collide in their search for love and happiness.
Franky and Bren are eighteen and in love. Franky has stolen a car and
they are on their way to Dover to live by the sea in a tent until they
can afford something better. Nadia and Radu, two Romanian children, are
lost and trying to find their parents. Julie and Clegs, a couple in their
forties, are on a date, enjoying fish and chips and the panoramic view
from the roof of an enormous Orangery. Seventeen year old Gino has visions
after surviving a severe head injury; he is disturbed because he can now
see everything. Derry, owner of a chip shop in Dover, has given Gino a
job.
